Simple JSP Internationalization with JSTL

Many MVC framework come with Internalization (i18n) support. But what I have is a pure JSP, Model 1 webapp, so those framework is not my choice.

I had Google on i18n for JSP. The examples found are more complicated than my expectation, and very likely will make the JSP code I have currently become more messy.

Then taglib come into my mind, I do some google on i18n by taglib, and found JSTL format (fmt) tags is i18n capable. After some copy and paste from a few webpages, I had compile a simple guide:

• i18n with JSTL
  

By the way, i18n simply means internalization. The 18 refer to number of characters between 'i' and 'n' in the word 'internasionalization'.

Include Page Dynamically in JSP

<jsp:include page="<%= url %>" flush="true" />
<%@ include file="<%= url %>" %>

Ever think of include a dynamic page with method above where 'url' is a String of page to include? This will sure end with dissapiontment cause it doesn't work in JSP (and ASP as well).

However, JSP have the 3rd way to include a page:
<% pageContext.include(url); %>

Maybe this is not good practice to have lots of Java code within JSP. So if you have any better ways, please share it with me. Thank you. :)
